ANyone else hear it? He was wonderful. Erudite and witty as ever. He was talking about his book and the bands he wishes he was in. |

Some of us actually work at that time Padraig..... I'll check out the ABC site to see if there is a recording. Did you hear him last month(?) talk to Richard Glover about the Go Betweens bridge? |

I didn't hear him on Richard Glover Geoff, but he made a very funny reference to the bridge today. The interviewer, picking up on how much Robert loves the band name Question Mark and the Mysterians, said it would have been a strange name for a bridge if that had been his band's name. Robert said a science research building would have got the name instead in that case. Hmm, that story doesn't sound very funny written down like that. You had to hear it! |
